cornmeal mush

This stuff is infamous, but I find it a nice change from oatmeal, cream of wheat, and malt-o-meal. I managed to convince my mother to make it exactly once during my elementay school days. I thought it was alright, but everyone else hated it, and it reminded my father too much of his poorer childhood. This is an extremely cheap dish, but try it for breakfast someday if you've never had it.
